Is this best new car? Honda Civic review

This is the all-new Honda Civic!
The previous edition of the Civic was one of the most popular & recognisable family cars on the road. The question is, does the all-new edition offer enough to sway you away from a different family hatchback?
Well, let’s see what’s on offer. In terms of the design, it’s markedly different to the previous model, with a swooping tailgate around the rear through to an updated front with LED headlights and a new grille.
On the inside, you’ll be treated to a simple but well-laid-out dash. There are good quality materials throughout most of the cabin, along with physical dials to make it easy to manage climate controls. The infotainment has also been updated, although it’s pretty middle of the road. Thankfully though, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard!
Considering it’s a family hatchback, it’s still not the cheapest. The entry-level edition starts at just under £30,000! But does it offer enough for you to still choose it over the competition? You’ll have to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Doubt it. The engine doesn't change gears, because there's no need. No gearbox either. The engine is probably running at constant rpms, slightly varying at times so that it generates more power. So no, that's not how the engine sounds when generating current, sorry. The fake sound is just fake and ridiculous. EDIT: Maybe the sound at the end, where he does 0-60 can be real or at least could make sense. It just sounds like a CVT, going up in rpms and staying there. Not particularly enjoyable to listen to.

@@mircea5013 indeed the sounds it made when driving around were all fake and did not match what the engine was actually doing. The accurate sound was when he did the 0-60 runs. It sounds like a CVT because when you floor it the ECM just tells the engine to sit at peak power RPM. It's actually more responsive than a CVT because you don't have to wait for the "cones" in the gearbox to move around. Probably why the 0-60 times are very impressive for a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine in a sizable car.

@rafawojcik3011 Жыл бұрын

@@mircea5013 The thing is that the sound is augmented in the sport mode through speakers, sounds a bit silly I'll give you that. However on normal and eco the sound is purely from the engine, it goes up and down on rpm's to simulate gear changing, "gearbox" is fake but sound is 100% real - for my taste much better than the fake sport one.

Also, the US version does nor get a hybrid yet. I don't always see the logic in car manufacturers' market specific choices. I have owned 8 Civics in my life, and this model seems more mature without being stuffy. Maybe it should be number 9? Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9.

That driveline is trick too, I'm shocked hybrids haven't adopted the 'diesel/electric' locomotive approach. I do recall Rover (when still in charge of the R50 Mini project) did look into an indirect petrol/electric drive train. I wish it had come to be as it would have sidestepped the crap range of electric cars back in the day and still got good economy. P.s. I love the way it 'sounds'.

Went to a dealer, did a test drive. Value for money, fun to drive and you got a nice kick, brilliant and smart interior. Dislike the arm rest in the back and 60:40 rear split (no through loading system…). What I’m missing the most is awd to be honest. Reading rumors there will be ZR-V coming 2023 so if you can wait and really need 4x4 this would be an alternative in bespoke SUV

The over quoting 0-60 time (quoted more time than real) thing is what Honda has always done with their hybrids. I think the quoted 0-60 time is what’s achieved in the eco mode. The reason your 2nd run took longer is likely that it’s run the battery down in your earlier attempt
